  2. Outline DIGITAL LOCAL AGENDA (DLA) European policy context of the Agenda Where are we ? Projects EU supported on DLA How to participate 2

  3. DLA European Policy ContextEuropean Digital Agenda: K. Action 10 The problem Public services are not available on equal term to all (local governments represent 70% of public services) Objectives/core values : no citizen is left behind - Better service access through complementary channels Better access to education, training, work & jobs Improvement to government-citizen Improvement to personal capacity & skills, life chances, social networks and quality of life Other added values eGov services can reduce costs and save time to all eGov can mitigate risks of climate change (shared environmental information and data) 3

  4. DLA European Policy ContextBACKGROUND Why the DLA was born (Cracow, EISCO 2005) eGovernment must become an inclusive system in Local Areas for Citizens & Administrations (Include civil servants and citizens digitally excluded) Inclusive eGovernment targets (EISCO) - Socially disadvantaged groups (30 % of the European population) Individuals operating in disadvantaged working conditions, as civil servants from small urban centres, rural or isolated areas (small municipalities are the great majority in the EU) Vision To combat digital exclusion and ensure Info Society and eGovernment for all there is the need to overcome the digital divide between metropolitan areas and the rest of the territory 4

  5. DLA European Policy ContextMISSION DLA objectives - eGovernment action integrated in development strategy of local administrations regular plans and budgets, (DLA Plan for inclusive eGovernment becomes a must) One stop shop and shared infrastructural services among local service providers (Information Society Pact) Priorities are set-up and relevant services evaluated with end-users (eParticipation – Forum with citizens) 5

  6. DLA European Policy ContextADDED-VALUE Priorities are shared among decision makers, civil servants and citizens and within administrations in every DLA local area Need of human and financial resources become visible (what can be done internally, what needs external support) Regions have a mapping of needs and processes in place regarding inclusive eGovernment and can improve own strategies Progress can be evaluated against concrete plans in administrations and not only against individual and seldom isolated projects Allows road-mapping of infrastructural problems to solve them with a multi-channel service delivery and cooperation strategy Citizens are involved in decision-making and demand for public services ICT-enabled improves peformance 6

  7. DLA Action : Where are we?THEMATIC PRIORITIES 5 priorities (thematic areas) and 29 goals (EISCO 2007 declaration – Hameenlinna, Finland) eParticipation local decision-making and initiatives eInclusion of citizens’ socially disadvantaged & civil servants - Full citizen’s access to communication networks and applications (ensure broadband) Secure and interoperable digital infrastructure in local areas Advanced municipal/local services through one stop shop INVOLVE POLITICIANS AND DECISION-MAKERS TECHNICALLY SUPPORTED BY KNOWLEDGE ENVIRONMENT AND NETWORK OF DLA EXPERTS 7
